Examples
Create new Active Directory user (JavaScript):
This example demonstrates how to find and add a new user and roles in Pyramid, when using Active Directory authentication.
The example uses API authentication driven from JavaScript. See Authentication APIs for alternatives.
// URL of the Pyramid installation and the path to the API 2.0 REST methods
var pyramidURL = "http://mysite.com/api2/";
// step 1: authenticate admin account and get token.
//This assumes authentication with Windows Authentication SSO. Therefore the account logging on is an admin account.
// NOTE: callApi method is a generic REST method shown below. And inside it, xhttp.withCredentials = true;
let token = callApi("auth/authenticateUserWindows",{},false);
log("got token "+token);
//step 2: Get the defult tenant.
let defaultTenantResult = callApi("access/getDefaultTenant",{
"auth": token // admin token generated above
});
let tenantId = defaultTenantResult.data;
log("default tenant, id= "+tenantId);
